Cherry Willingham

About

Cherry Willingham ward is a residential area located directly east of Lincoln city centre, separated from the city by the River Witham. The settlement is primarily composed of housing estates developed in the mid-to-late 20th century, providing homes for commuters to the city. The ward includes the village of Cherry Willingham itself and the nearby hamlet of Reepham. Local amenities are centred along Lincoln Road, which serves as the main thoroughfare through the area.

The geography is defined by the River Witham, which forms its western boundary, and the Fossdyke Canal to the south. A significant feature is the presence of the Lincolnshire Showground, a large events site hosting the annual county agricultural show. Open farmland borders the eastern edges of the ward, maintaining a semi-rural character. Public green spaces include the village playing fields and pathways along the river and canal banks.
